Acclimatize gradually
Keep daily hiking to 3–6 hours, drink water frequently, and watch for headache or nausea—ascending too fast increases altitude risk.

Footwear and grip
Sturdy, well-broken-in hiking boots with ankle support are essential for slippery stone steps and uneven trails.
Tea-house realities
Expect simple rooms and shared facilities; carry a lightweight towel and a dry-bag for keeping clothes and electronics moisture-free.
Sturdy hiking boots
Provide traction and ankle support on stone steps and muddy sections.
Layered clothing (synthetic/wool)

Reduce knee strain on long descents and offer stability on uneven stairs.
Hydration system + water purification
Reliable access to clean water keeps energy steady at altitude.
